Abstract: La méthode d'analyse non invasive permet de tester l'intégrité d'un os in vivo, de déterminer soit l'éventuelle existence d'une fracture soit l'évolution de la cicatrisation d'une fracture. Cette méthode d'analyse non invasive consiste à placer un transducteur électrique de vibration (12) contre l'extérieur des tissus souples entourant l'os, à induire une vibration mécanique dans l'os en tapant sur l'os avec un marteau à réflexe (14), et à produire un signal électrique à l'aide du transducteur, lequel signal électrique est représentatif de la vibration mécanique ainsi induite dans l'os. L'intensité de la fréquence de résonance et la concentration d'énergie à cette fréquence de résonance de la vibration mécanique sont toutes deux déterminées à partir du signal électrique, et des premiers indices visuels sensibles de manière variable à l'intensité de la fréquence de résonance ainsi que des seconds indices visuels sensibles de manière variable à la concentration d'énergie sont affichés. L'analyse s'effectue à des moments différents pendant le processus de cicatrisation, et les résultats des tests sont affichés de manière simultanée pour montrer l'évolution.

Title: Rapid process for detecting coliform microorganisms.
Inventor: BERG JAMES D
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 1988-11-03
Abstract: A direct method for detecting very low levels of coliform contamination in products for human consumption comprises contacting the microorganisms with a methylumbelliferone substrate. The substrate is hydrolyzed into methylumbelliferone by an enzyme given off by the microorganisms. Hydrolysis is accelerated by sodium lauryl sulfate, which renders the microorganisms more permeable to the substrate, the enzyme, or both. The methylumbelliferone is detected by its fluorescence, either in solution or on an agar medium supporting microcolonies formed from individual microorganisms. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A lead storage battery with gel-like thickened acid electrolyte has a separator (1) ribbed on both sides, the ribs (3) of which are many times wider than the channel-like depressions (4) between them, which thereby take on the function of vertical gas channels and in particular facilitate an escape of the oxygen developed during charging from the adjacent electrode plates. It is just as easy for this oxygen to reach, from above and via the gas channels at the rear, the negative electrode, at the surface of which it is evenly consumed. Ribs and basic separator sheet (2) are preferably made of different materials, the former of macroporous PVC. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electronic control system for operating a torque converter clutch during a transmission gearshift includes a vehicle speed sensor (417 and engine speed sensor (46),a hydrodynamic torque converter (26) located between the engine and the transmission, a solenoid-­operated hydraulic valve (54), which engages and disengages the torque converter clutch in accordance with the energised and de-energised state of the solenoid in accordance with the logic of the control system. The converter clutch is locked while operating in the original gear ratio, then unlocks during the gearshift, and relocks after the upshift is completed. The speed ratio of the torque converter (26) is rapidly determined in terms of the number of clock ticks occurring between pulses whose frequency is proportional to engine speed. The current speed ratio is determined during interrupts occurring at short intervals during a background pass. 
     Torque converter (26) unlock and relock reference speed ratios ar calculated once per background pass. If need arises for frequent checks of the current torque converter speed ratio to be made,then the unlock reference speed ratio is compared repetitively once during each interrupt with the current converter speed ratio. When the comparison indicates current speed ratio exceeds the unlock reference speed ratio, the torque converter clutch is unlocked. Thereafter during each interrupt,, the current torque converter speed ratio is compared to the relock reference speed ratio. When this comparison indicates that current speed ratio exceeds the relock reference speed ratio, a command issues to relock the torque converter.

Abstract: A control system for controlling intake and exhaust valves of an internal combustion engine includes an electro­magnetic actuator means for electromagnetically operating the intake and exhaust valves. The electromagnetic actuator means is controlled depending on the rotational speed of the engine such that the angle in which the intake and exhaust valves are open will be smaller when the engine rotational speed is lower and larger when the engine rotational speed is higher. With this arrangement, the intake and exhaust efficiencies are increased in the full range of engine rota­tional speeds.

Abstract: A postcard includes a paper mount and a sticker to be stuck to the mount and covering at least a part thereof. The sticker is made by forming a layer of a thermally bondable resin on the main surface of a substrate and then a bondability-lowering layer on the main surface of the layer of the thermally bondable resin so as to decrease the bonding strength of a part of the layer of the resin to a low level and stick this part on the mount lightly. Accordingly, the sticker can be separated at its bondability-lowering layer-carrying part from the mount of the postcard relatively simply to enable various kinds of information recorded on the main surface of the mount of the postcard to be recognized.
